  • Patent number: 12704519
    Abstract: The disclosure provides kits and methods for detecting a substance that interferes with detection of an analyte in a sample and for expanding the dynamic range and reducing the hook effect of an immunoassay. The kits and methods employ two conjugates with two different detectable labels, at least one of which is a chemiluminescent compound of Formula (I).

  • Publication number: 20230258638
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, kits, systems, algorithms and improvements for detecting the presence of or determining an amount, quantity, concentration and/or level of an antibody against at least one type of ?-coronavirus, such as, for example, an antibody against SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2, in one or more samples obtained from a subject. In some aspects, the methods, kits and systems relate to detecting the presence of or determining an amount, quantity, concentration and/or level of at least one type of anti-?-coronavirus antibody, such as an IgG and/or IgM antibody, in one or more samples obtained from a subject.

  • Publication number: 20210209194
    Abstract: Portable electronic devices, wearable devices, wireless networks provide access to applications including secure communications using encryption/decryption, financial transactions, medical information acquisition and transmittal, etc. These require low latency data access, secure communications, fast processing, etc. The result is a demand for improved mathematical processes for data storage, data processing, encryption/decryption of data, encoding/decoding data, etc. Embodiments of the invention establish a mathematical codex together with whole number mathematical image methods and systems applicable to such mathematical processes. Such whole number mathematical image methods and systems being applicable generally within computer science, medical science, science, engineering, mathematics, physics, and trinary languages.

  • Publication number: 20190376963
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for an enhanced detection of an analyte present in a biological sample. After the formation of the analyte/specific binding member(s)/detectable label complex, the labels are eluted and a first aliquot of eluant is brought into contact with a solid support, wherein the solid support comprises immobilized thereto specific binding member that specifically binds to the label, removing the first aliquot from the solid support and contacting the solid support with a second aliquot of the eluted label, and repeating the above steps, such that the label is concentrated on the solid support for further analysis to quantify the analyte in the biological sample.
